Experience an Enchanting Evening on a Kyoto Riverboat

Exclusive Kyoto dinner with geisha

Embark on a magical evening in Kyoto with a serene riverboat cruise through the scenic Arashiyama district. Begin your journey at a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant, where you’ll indulge in an exquisite omakase course crafted with the finest seasonal ingredients.

As night falls, step aboard a traditional cruising boat and glide along the tranquil river. Let the soft melodies of the shakuhachi flute and the rhythmic beat of taiko drums, performed live by a graceful geisha, set the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable dinner under the stars.

From July to mid-September, guests will also witness ukai, the centuries-old summer tradition of cormorant fishing—a rare cultural spectacle performed on the river, illuminated by firelight and steeped in history.

This exclusive experience offers a harmonious blend of nature, cuisine, and culture—a peaceful escape into the heart of Kyoto’s timeless beauty.
